    Summary

    Picking up right where we left off in He Can Be Strong For Someone Else - Act 2.

    Kirkwall is as hard to stomach as ever even though things have calmed down some.
    All Cullen can do is the best he can. Try to uphold his duty and his conscience and straddle the gap between the two.
    The thing is...lines are beginning to blur. All kinds of lines, not just between mages and templars or demons and magic.
    He's still possessed, he still has nightmares, he still can't sleep. But maybe he's learning from all of this.

    Once again I state that I am being very fast and loose with the timeline here, so things can move and shift a bit to match up with the course of events for the story. Nothing is concrete except the scenes that have been detailed and if I come up with more scenes to add, they’ll come as new posts outside of each Act. I have thought of a few already.
    (This story has taken on a life of its own - which forced a slight change to the title of this act.)

    Summary

    Stiles Stilinski meets The Wolf King, the very boogeyman he'd spent his younger years terrified of; yet the man is little, if anything, like the tales he's heard. But, Stiles has spent the last ten years of his life as a slave, under the harsh whip of the cruel King Gerard Argent, and trusting Derek - trusting anyone - is beyond difficult.

    Summary

    People change over time. Sometimes, those changes can make people into something they weren't before.

    This story follows Knight-Captain Denam from finishing his templar training to the events at Therinfal Redoubt, as well as two other lower-ranked templars- Zachary Carnelian, a Kirkwall noble who joined the Order to make a positive change in the world, and Knight-Corporal Kalon, a Tevinter runaway with a vendetta against mages and questionable character.

    Summary

    “All right, what's your favorite food then?” Isabela asked Fenris, “No offense, but I have a hard time imagining you enjoying food.”

    “I have a hard time imagining you enjoying anything,” Anders pitched in. Hawke shushed him.

      Fenris rolled his eyes and sat up. “I eat and enjoy food. If you must know, it’s Flamingo Braised in Date Sauce.”

     “A Flamenco Braised in Date Sauce?” Hawke asked.

     “What’s a flamenco?” Isabela asked.

    “What’s a date?” Anders asked cynically.

    Or; Anders cooks for Fenris, falls in love, and fights a goose, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    For Merrill, the grief carves a familiar hole in her gut; she didn’t know the other alienage “Keepers” very well, having only coordinated with them for the Conclave, trying to petition for the same exemptions from Templar interference that Dalish clans are allowed. She grieves for the lost potential, for the communities losing their guides, for the families losing each other.
    She grieves, and she wants nothing more than for Isabela to be here, carding ringed fingers through her hair and telling her what she has to say to go home to her.

    or;
    Merrill has always walked the line between respected and feared, loved and lonely. To be a heretical chosen one is almost fitting.

    Summary

    2017. Tala Dizon—nerdy Filipina-Canadian and almost Phd—comes back to her home country after ten years for community work amid the ongoing drug war. An amulet, given to her by her grandmother, suddenly sends her to Thedas during the Conclave explosion. In a fictional game world, where one is not the heroine, and one’s skills are mostly useless, what can one girl to do? Will she ever find her way back home? Why does Cullen aka. Discount Chris Evans keep finding ways to troll her so, intentionally or unintentionally? Why does she keep remembering memories of one mage deceased more than ten years ago? Also, her avatar is an elven version of the Mother of Dragons. What could possibly go wrong?

    Note: It's an MGiT that incorporates elements of k-drama style makjang. Because why not? There will be some twists on the MGiT genre.

    I wrote this in response to one post I made in the Dragon Age fan fiction facebook group about not having a lot of women-of-color in Modern-Girl-in-Thedas fics. I wanted to write a protagonist who looks a lot like me. Like the protagonist, I am also very busy with grad school so I will make no promises about posting schedule. But I will not abandon this fic.

    Summary

    The Chantry has told many lies. Theresa Trevelyan is merely one of them. They called her a heretic first, then a savior, then a prophet. She rejects the myth they've made of her life and her suffering. But more than this, she resents their erasure of the truth behind her rise to power. You think you know the story of the Herald of Andraste? Now you will hear the truth. With a little help from Thedas's favorite serial author, of course.

    This is part one of my Reprises and Reprisals series. It covers the beginning of the game through In Your Heart Shall Burn. Part Two is intended to cover early Skyhold up through the end of the base game (DLC and Trespasser to come in Part Three). I've tried my best to make Part Two accessible in case you wanna skip over the early parts. Enjoy!

    Find me on Tumbler at @warpedlegacy - my asks are always open about my fics!

    Summary

    Anders' heart presses against the folds of cotton on his sleeve, and as Karl again comes back weary—it bleeds. Hidden away from light and eyes, the two mages sit with hands clasped together in something far more than prayer. They are healed not only with magic, but with touches, kisses, and promises of tomorrow murmured against worn robes.

    Summary

    Formerly of the circle, Miriam Amell has gone through hell in her short life: Circle nor the templars, were kind on her, and she made sacrifices to protect the one person she cared about. Constant bitterness remained through it all, despite her resisting it.

    Once she joined the Grey wardens, Miriam dedicated herself for a single purpose: a goal greater than herself (which, to her delight, existed outside the chantry). Despite her cranky nature, Miriam made sure the blight was defeated, and future ensured. A new symbol for dedication was born.

    Now, the hero of Fereldan and leader of Grey wardens of Fereldan, she has taken upon herself the burden of command. Although she learned much about loyalty during the Fifth Blight, she still has a long way to go. Victory didn't guarantee absolute trust.

    A man, who has spent a time in her cells, may be the key, for her to learn true comradery... and something else.

    Summary

    Cassandra knows the Herald is young, not much older than she was when she became the Right Hand of the Divine, but Cienna Trevelyan will not be alone. That's just about the only thing their little circle can agree on.
